Destiny 2 Offline Exploration Mod

This mod installs onto an old build of the game and allows you to play it offline, loading into destinations and exploring them.

Most gameplay features are not currently supported. (Missions, Enemies, NPCs, Quests, Persistent Saves, ...)

WIP

This mod is a work in progress. Things might break or work in unexpected ways. There is also currently a lack of documentation. This will improve over the coming weeks.

Building

Windows

Install Visual Studio 2026 with the Desktop development with C++ workload. The project builds against the v145 toolset and the 10.0.26100 Windows SDK, so check that both are selected in the installer.

The easiest route is to open Sunrise.sln, select the Release x64 configuration and build.

To build from a command line, use the Developer PowerShell for VS 2026:

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/stanuwu/Sunrise
   cd Sunrise
   

2. Build the solution

   msbuild Sunrise.sln /m /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64
   

Linux

Make sure you have git, cmake, clang, ninja, llvm, and xwin installed.

1. Clone the repository

   $ git clone https://github.com/stanuwu/Sunrise
   $ cd Sunrise
   

2. Download Windows headers:

   $ xwin --sdk-version 10.0.26100 --accept-license splat --include-debug-libs --output .xwin-cache
   

3. Configure and build the project

   $ cmake -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$(pwd)/linux-to-win-toolchain.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
   $ cmake --build build
   

Saved progression

Sunrise stores account and character progression in Sunrise/data/investment.sqlite3, relative to the DLL. Inventory, currencies, sockets, subclass choices, titles, unlocks, objectives, seasonal progress, claims, and ownership survive restarts. Character unlock banks are separate. Earned world rewards also survive while waiting for their inventory grant and pickup notification. In-game account preferences, account keybindings, and each item's seen marker are also saved. Client-mod options and local server policy remain in Sunrise/settings.json. Selection, current activity, and sign-in time last only for the current run.

The DLL embeds Sunrise/resources/database/investment_schema.sql, investment_defaults.sql, account_settings_schema.sql, and account_settings_defaults.sql. New databases use these defaults. Version-1 saves upgrade to version 2 without replacing their inventory or progression; the added account preferences start with the bundled defaults. Settings files with an older or missing version are deleted and replaced with bundled defaults. There is no settings migration or progression import. Existing SQLite saves are kept.

Close the game before copying or editing the database. Back up the whole Sunrise/data folder. Removing that database starts a new save from the bundled defaults. A database with a newer schema is refused rather than replaced.

Contributing

• No Copyrighted Data - All game data should be extracted at runtime.
• Code Formatting - Stick to the provided clang-format and clang-tidy configs.
• Clean Code - Try to post readable high-quality code, follow the project's existing style of comment and add docs.
• Provide Documentation - Please explain what you changed, why you changed it and the effects it has in detail, it saves me a lot of work.
• Follow Up - If something with the PR is not right, I will reply and ask you to fix it.
• One Feature - Do not put multiple features into one PR.
• Complete Implementations - Do not PR features that are not completed and/or have non-functional parts.
